Adam Jackson takes a dive into the fascinating history of Dublin, exploring topics such as the etymological roots of the city's name; the adventurous people who are said to have founded the city; the nickname of the city's old boundary in the Middle Ages; a world-renowned seat of learning founded in Dublin by an English Queen in 1592; a famous British soldier and statesman with a strong Dublin connection; the Easter Rising against British Rule in the midst of WWI; the tragic events that interrupted a GAA match in November 1920; the building that served as the centre of British power in Ireland until 1922; the identities of two popular statues in the centre of Dublin; and a powerful quote by the playwright, Samuel Beckett.
